damon@tirerack has a reputation beyond repute

IMO It just never caught on. Same way 19" never really did either. Not many tires are made in 21" either, and that I'm sure plays a big part.

Dunno for sure either.....

But don't you compromise the ride with 22's vs 21's?

you won't compromise ride too much if you can get the unsprung weight down on a set of 22" wheels. in other words, 22x10 monoblock forged wheels wrapped in 295/30-22" tires.
